And if the Austro-Hungarian Legion and some Bavarian Legion counterattack in the direction of Lviv at this time, then there are no two armies and enough reserves, can the Russians rest assured? This is the 1.50,000 troops! In addition, in the Transcaucasus region, there are Turks who restrained them, and the Russians deployed at least one army, and in the Baltic region, the Russians have another army. In this way, the Russians' troops have reached the limit and they have no more front-line troops.&1t;/p>

"I have no intention of completely tearing the Russians' defense from the Polish direction. This is inefficient. The Russians are not stupid. They know that a series of fortifications and fortifications are built on the borders and depths of both sides. Even the fortifications are poor, it is always an obstacle for the offensive forces."&1t;/p>

"So, my breakthrough is here!" The prince used a putter to click the direction of Rigawan on the map, and then drew a circle!&1t;/p>

"Since the Russians on the ground have offensives and terrain obstacles, why don't we open a gap from the sea, bypass the opponent's border defense, and directly insert it into the rear of the enemy?" the prince asked back. "In order to achieve this goal, I need the support of the navy!"&1t;/p>

In fact, Germany did have the idea of ​​fighting the Gulf of Riga in history. The first operation was relatively failures. On the one hand, it was because the Russians had a strong mine-branching, and on the other hand, it was because Germany's actions were not firm. The second time was that the famous Albion Operation in history had achieved some success. In the prince's opinion, this operation was a bit late, because by 1916, the front lines of both sides were already very close to the Gulf of Riga, and the offensive resistance was relatively large. But if it was moving now, the effect would be completely different!&1t;/p>

The reason is very simple. The main Russians' forces are on the front line of Poland and Silesia. There is an accident in the Gulf of Riga. It is too late for the Russians to mobilize their troops! The only possibility is the reserve team in the St. Petersburg area, but an army came over to fight the German army covered by the high seas fleet? What are you thinking?!&1t;/p>

After successfully landing at 6th, the German army's sword was equivalent to directly slashing the Russians' most fragile neck! There are almost no Russian corps in the surrounding area, and the Russians can act at will! The next plan is to target the Russians' railway lines and railway hubs!&1t;/p>

Don't seek occupation, just destroy! If the railways in Western Europe can be described as railway networks, then what is the railway in Russia used to describe it? That is, a few lines! The entire Russian army's mobility and logistics supply are completed by these lines, and they are already overwhelmed. If a few are cut off temporarily, then the front line troops will basically rely on their legs if they want to move... Maybe it is a horse with 4 legs, or a person with two legs!&1t;/p>

Admittedly, at this time, the encirclement was not completed, but what about that? The Polish region cannot supply millions of troops to consume, and the things behind cannot be transported. Do you want to retreat? The railway is either destroyed or there are no cars, and you want to walk from Poland to Belarus and Ukraine by your legs? What are you thinking?&1t;/p>

Because the initial goal of the German army after the arrival of the 6th was to destroy the railway network, the task could be undertaken by some smaller high-mobile troops, which could be undertaken by the Bavarian Legion, such as motorized troops, cavalry and bicycles... (Don't laugh, there were indeed established bicycle brigades in Operation Albion in history... This is much earlier than the Silver Wheel Legion of the Battle of Yamashita Tomomichi.)&1t;/p>

In the Russian rear without any heavy army protection, it does not require strong offensive capabilities. Then, as long as it can destroy several important railway lines and some military stations, Germany will definitely have an advantage in the race against the Russians! Kill the exhausted Russian troops one by one during the evacuation of the other direction! What a touching thing!&1t;/p>

Moreover, there is no military risk in this kind of action. The Russians have separated from the field fortifications and fortress systems and lack sufficient supplies. They have engaged in field battles with German legions that have been supplied by sea? The idea is very good. Try to fight. Whoever is afraid is who is the grandson!&1t;/p>

There are two key points for the prince to realize this plan. The first key point is that the German Navy must be able to take over the Bay of Riga and concentrate a sufficient number of merchant ships. This time, the prince used the Thunder-Serbruce operation to lay a foundation for the future operation in the Baltic Sea.&1t;/p>

The second key point is that the German General Staff needs to draw additional troops to carry out this mission! The prince's Bavarian Legion, Bohemian Legion and Markens' Legion are not enough. If possible, the prince hopes that the German General Staff can be assigned an additional army, about 250,000 to 30,000 troops, and a large number of vehicles. In this way, when the battle is launched, the overall combat power level of the allies is one level higher than that of the Russians, with greater success, and the possibility of blocking the gap as soon as possible!&1t;/p>

"So what you mean is to add an additional army at the right time and have command of the German high seas fleet?" The German emperor said after hearing the prince's explanation. At the same time, he began to think about the total number of German troops on the Eastern Front if this is the case.&1t;/p>

The Bavarian and Bohemia Legion now have 50,000 troops, and it is possible to rise to 60,000 in a while, because the Bavarian Legion captured a large number of prisoners, and Bohemia and Moravia are undergoing deep mobilization. After the prisoners provide a large amount of labor, more manpower can be converted into military power. Then the Markensen Legion plus the fortress area troops will reach 250,000, which is 850,000 German troops. Then the prince needs another army, which is definitely over one million, and the strength of the high seas fleet has not been calculated yet.&1t;/p>

"Is this a little too many troops?" After the German Emperor finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Maoqi.&1t;/p>

"This force can be considered, but I want to know what the empire can obtain after such a battle ends?" asked Xiao Maoqi.&1t;/p>

"We can defeat at least 5 Russian army, and then the Baltic coast, part of Belarus, and Western Ukraine will be included in our control! After this battle, the Russian army will not be able to pose a major threat to the German army. And one thing I need to make is that with the current in-depth mobilization, our troops will continue to increase. There are now 7 Prussian army on the Western Front and only 1 on the Eastern Front. Is this a bit unreasonable?" said the prince carefully.&1t;/p>

After hearing this, the German Emperor and Xiao Maoqi couldn't help but drip two drops of cold sweat. They didn't expect it to come so quickly!&1t;/p>
